The long talked-about expansion of Charlotte’s Cowfish Sushi Burger Bar joining the Raleigh restaurant scene has finally been made official.

The owners of Cowfish have signed a lease in the CapTrust Tower building at North Hills with plans to open in a 6,000-square-foot space in spring 2013, according to a news release from the building’s owners, Duke Realty Corp. and Kane Realty Corp.

Burgushi is a fusion of burgers and sushi that includes rolls created using burger components and sandwiches made with sushi ingredients. Cowfish’s burgushi has also garnered mentions in Garden & Gun Magazine, Everyday With Rachael Ray, Lifetime Television, Us Weekly and regional media outlets.

“We have focused all along on Raleigh for a our second location,” Hall stated. “The region’s strong economy, prominent universities and its proximity to our first location in Charlotte were all major factors in our decision. I’m so excited to be back and blessed with the opportunity to share our creation with my hometown. It really means a lot to have friends and family rally behind us and cheer us on.”

The owners of Cowfish expect to hire about 75 people to work the North Hills restaurant that will be located at 4208 Six Forks Road, Suite 100.
